Yawn. Poorly Filmed Snooze Fest.

best movie i've ever seen.

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

How can you go wrong with Ridley, Russel, Albert, and Marion? This is a feel good movie. So, if you're not looking for that, carry on. I've watched this movie over and over. There's something about it that I just love. It's beautifullly shot, the score is wonderful, plot is...alright, but all in all, it's just fun to watch! One of my favorites!

This film is just beautiful, the images of Provence are so beautiful. Russel Crowe is more and more endearing and Marion Cotillard really very beautiful. We really hope that a love story will be born between the two characters but it went very badly. the movie made me dream and I had a great time.

Movie Review: "A Good Year" (2006)This make-you-feel-good movie directed and produced by Ridley Scott is a very personal signature of the director, who recalls childhood memories with teenage character of Young Max, performed by at that time promising newcomer actor Freddie Highmore, known for "Finding Neverland" starring Johnny Depp; the boy, who gets raised in cultural manners by his Uncle Henry, here portrayed in a perfect-pitching performance by Albert Finney, at age 70, in manners of living-well without dying from life's obligation and constant pressure, when actor Russell Crowe takes over the stage to be London's stock-markets-pushing star broker number one Max Skinner, when his Uncle's inheritance becomes due in shape of the childhood reminiscence of a rural estate of planting grapes of French red wine.Director Ridley Scott plays his cards after the mammut-production of "Kingdom of Heaven" (2005) with switching cinematography to Philippe Le Sourd, engaging vacation-indulging, dreamy visuals of further high-end digital color corrections; promoted production designer Sonja Klaus, organizing and dressing on-location sets of splendor towards sharing a life of leisure with any spectator by finding the professionally acted, nevertheless no high-pitch meeting collaboration between Russell Crowe and actress Marion Cotillard, given face to a local character as waitress-of-no-means, when "A Good Year" runs out after a suspenseless 110-Minutes-Cut by editor Dody Dorn, where even accelerated montage scene deny the audience a fever pitch of higher illuminations in this motion picture of tragic-comedy pleasures.© 2018 Felix Alexander Dausend

This is an entertaining movie. I watched it when it came out in 2006, and then recently read the book by Peter Mayle, in 2016. I re-watched the movie and noted some differences. I think the movie watered down, as it is, is just as good a story. In the book, Max quits his job within four hours of the story and he is destitute. In the movie, he resigns and gets a significant golden parachute, i.e. lots of zeroes. The book has more intrigue, with much emphasis on fraud, the lawyer and people impersonating police. In the book, Charlie Willis is a former brother in law and real estate agent, and just the latter in the movie. However, the movie is wonderful, the music enchanting, and now that I am familiar with Marion Cotillard, as Fanny, I am a happier person. Surprising how far down in the credits she was
